a constitutional could it are doing and
today one will recognize that all the

international community is getting away
from that process the last decision after

the statement made by the United States
through the State Department after the

00:19:21
statement made by European Union and the
National Organization of Francophonie that

00:19:28
was I think Tim let me tell it to

00:19:31
a body had to sad it to withdraw from
the process because there are 3 that is

00:19:37
completely corrupted and because of what
has been known in terms of the violation

00:19:43
of the law so today I want be no
international observers of that process and

00:19:50
remember there are 2 leisure decisions
to be made 1st the referendum and sit

00:19:57
on the parliamentary elections the major
what it took up in the opposition and

00:20:03
created my own political but we are not
out of it so and on they cannot be fair

00:20:10
like 28 if person a property we are

00:20:14
a republic and we have to it by the
Constitution I do law and listen to you talk

00:20:21
about the international organizations I
don't think I heard you mention the African

00:20:25
Union what do you think the Africa you know

00:20:34
a problem in Rafik some African
leaders seem to stop each other

00:20:41
even when they ask behave in such

00:20:45
a way that to create problems in their

00:21:15
Loud to the fire I mean the mono is

00:21:17
a member of the National Front for the
defense of the Constitution the Guinea he

00:21:22
was speaking with us from the capital
Conakry the Gambian government on Tuesday

00:21:26
ordered the reopening of
2 privately owned f.m.

00:21:30
Radio stations that was shut
down last month following

00:21:33
a public demonstration in which the
protesters called for the resignation of

00:21:38
President adamant borrow as pundit written
by reports from Raleigh North Carolina

00:21:44
the government has also dropped criminal
charges against the accused journalists I

00:21:49
want our time to do is gonna be as justice
minister can be to address the press on

00:21:53
Tuesday on the start of the 2 groups radio
stations we have had discussions with

00:21:59
the Gandhi of course Union of course the
political officials of the National Human

00:22:04
Rights Commission and the gunmen hostage
in Division 2 we opened the reduced

00:22:09
Titian's that we had close on 26th of
January and to drop all charges against the

00:22:16
journalists who where I was as

00:22:18
a consequence different and meeting time
who had the shares of Gambians Human

00:22:23
Rights Commission also in attendance at the

00:22:34
And taking action radio we are shut down
it really could be you know what it

00:22:38
protests mind these days and we
accuse a piece acted violence

00:22:42
a charge is only deny we have all learned
lessons from this episode we hope we can

00:22:47
avoid in future but on the part of the
government and of course media practitioners

00:22:52
in the country we can avoid the kind
of situation that has led to this

00:22:56
a lack of will ending for put the
government under need to reduce tension. I

00:23:02
believe that what has happened today if
anything else has family way to it at the

00:23:08
position of the government
to promote exercise or do x.

00:23:12
If one of expression turned into her 300
government's commitment to media freedom

00:23:17
he signed the reopening of the 2 radio
stations that justify his claims Emanuel

00:23:22
you'll be the chairperson of Ghandi as Human
Rights Commission we have been visited

00:23:27
by the minister of justice minister of
information and the governor president and

00:23:32
the visit is to talk about but in an issue
surrounding the growth of the radio

00:23:37
station that took place among other things
that we spoke about very freely and

00:23:42
frankly but mainly it was to look at issues
that have transpired in the last month

00:23:47
in General Walker's at the close radio
stations from one cause or loss of earnings

00:23:54
this is already government moved to attend
them and they were not only detained

00:23:59
what had their stations shut down seaboard
young you know if the president of the

00:24:03
gun be president Boyden argues that it was
illegal for the government shut down due

00:24:09
to radio stations we felt the government
in this case exercise power was it never

00:24:14
had that has to be clear and this
is all point of view he got to be

00:24:17
a press Union and distort a lot of
Esau's out there the roof of insecurity

00:24:24
a roof of paranoia if the police id or
whoever can order his mental go and close

00:24:30
radio stations without due process because
due process was not followed by Young

00:24:34
has called the government to follow due

00:30:17
case in a c.b.s.

00:30:18
Debate ahead of

00:30:19
a crucial weekend election one of the
things that kept me safe just as sure as my

00:30:24
body armor was the fact that the
flat on my shoulder represented

00:30:28
a country that was known to keep its word
our allies and our adversaries knew it

00:30:34
the president has torn that to shreds.
Health officials warn it's not

00:30:38
a matter of if but when the car on
a virus will spread in the u.s.

00:30:42
Also ahead a former Egyptian
president who out was ousted in

00:30:45
a popular uprising has died it's all
on today's international edition.

00:30:54
7 remaining Democrats who
hope to deny President Trump

00:30:57
a 2nd term held their final debate between
the remaining 7 Democratic presidential

00:31:04
cant contenders ahead of contests on
Saturday in South Carolina and then Tuesday

00:31:10
when there will be more than

00:31:12
a 3rd of delegates needed to secure
the nomination the debate on c.b.s.

00:31:16
Was filled with attacks aimed at the new
front runner Bernie Sanders particularly

00:31:20
when it comes to his plans on health care
what every study out there surveyed of

00:31:26
all progress that says Medicare for all
will save money the Associated Press

00:31:34
says Sanders claim is not quite correct
Meanwhile he was also attacked by Senate

00:31:38
votes by his Senate votes on gun control
like the Brady bill there's former Vice

00:31:43
President Joe Biden on the c.b.s.

00:31:45
Debate ahead of the next contest where
African-American support will be crucial you

00:31:50
know we talk about progressive West talk
about being progressive walking to his

00:31:55
mother Emanuel Church 9 people shot dead
by white supremacist Bernie voted 5

00:32:02
times against the Brady Bill. Joining us
for further analysis on the debate the

00:32:08
l.a. Correspondent Jim alone Jim it was

00:32:11
a lot of attacking again mostly aimed at
one person what you think I think that the

00:32:17
bigger target on Tuesday night was actually
Bernie Sanders the front runner the

00:32:23
senator from Vermont various of the other
contenders on stage took their shots at

00:32:29
him based on the policies he advocates
whether it be on health care or some of the

00:32:34
other costly approaches to dealing with
the issues in the United States but also

00:32:39
his past statements that he's been
been challenged about favorable

00:32:45
statements about Cuba in the past in the
past the Soviet Union various other

00:32:52
countries with sort of controversial
leaders so there was some of trying to put

00:32:58
Bernie Sanders on the spot. And I think
that's what happens when you're leading in

00:33:05
the polls and you're about to head into
some critical primaries the next several

00:33:09
days that really could determine the outcome
of the nomination race do you think

00:33:15
that they did

00:33:16
a good job at sort of getting people to
potentially question voting for Bernie

00:33:21
Sanders I think they had more success in
this debate than anything we've seen today

00:33:26
it wasn't

00:33:26
a surprise to Senator Sanders he knew
it was going to get scrutiny and to be

00:33:30
challenged but I do think it came from all
sides even Senator Elizabeth Warren who

00:33:36
is

00:33:36
a fellow progressive. Tried to make the
case that she would be better positioned to

00:33:42
be the nominee than Senator Sanders and
he certainly got challenged by the

00:33:48
moderates on stage questioning his health
care plans his foreign policy ideas and

00:33:55
just raising the concern that

00:33:58
a lot of Democrats do have that if he's
the nominee it could be insuring 4 more

00:34:03
years of President. On the White House
seems to be their number one concern going

00:34:08
into this election cycle the crowds have
consistently said that that's the most

00:34:13
important thing to them as well as these
other issues right and I think what you're

00:34:17
what you've gotten so far in the early
primaries the centers has been very well

00:34:21
he's building momentum is latest performance
and of that it was his best so far but

00:34:26
that's because also there are several
moderates who are giving up that moderate

00:34:31
vote and trying to vying for the role of
being the challenger to Senator Sanders I

00:34:36
thought for example in this latest debate
that Joe Biden had one of his stronger

00:34:40
debates he's counting on

00:34:41
a good performance Saturday in South Carolina
he actually probably has to win that

00:34:46
to remain viable I also think that the
former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg

00:34:52
was

00:34:52
a little more alive in this latest debate
that he was in the 1st debate last week

00:34:57
in which he got a very bad reviews from

00:35:00
a lot of critics Bloomberg tried to be more
forceful it tried to challenge Sanders

00:35:05
more so Bernie Sanders definitely was getting
criticized from all comers there and

00:35:11
what I think we want to see is this going
to have any effect on the Super Tuesday

00:35:16
voting next Tuesday or even in
South Carolina coming up in

00:35:19
a few days or has he built such

00:35:22
a theme of momentum that at this point
it's going to be hard for any of them to

00:35:26
slow him down all right that is the way
correspondent Jim alone mean well u.s.

00:35:31
National security adviser Robert O'Brien
said last week that he has not seen any

00:35:36
evidence that Russia is doing anything to
help President Trump get reelected but he

00:35:41
acknowledged he has sought out and not
sought out intelligence reports alleging

00:35:45
Moscow's interfering in the 2020 Alexion
also during Tuesday night's Democratic

00:35:51
debate the issue of Russian meddling came
up to prop attention to help President

00:35:56
Trump and also Bernie Sanders

00:35:58
a Democrat to take Trump on here's former
Mayor Pete the judge at the debate

00:36:03
courtesy of c.b.s.

00:36:04
. Why would the Russians want to be working
on behalf of Bernie Sanders I'll tell

00:36:09
you what the Russians want they don't have

00:36:11
a political party they want chaos and chaos
is what is coming our way I mean look

00:36:17
if you think the last 4 years has
been chaotic. Divisive toxic

00:36:24
exhausting imagine spending the better
part of 2020 with Bernie Sanders versus

00:36:29
Donald Trump Think about what that
will be like for this country about

00:36:34
a kid again from the Democratic
debate courtesy of c.b.s.

00:36:38
Americans are getting confused about
what to believe when it comes to Russian

00:36:42
interference Joining us now to sort it
all out is Camille Jaffer founder and

00:36:47
executive director of the National Security
instituted George Mason University of

00:36:51
Antonin Scalia law school what's going on
here well really what's clear is that the

00:36:57
Russians are interfering in the American
electoral process just like they did in 26

00:37:01
and this is no surprise we expected this
to happen and that process has begun and

00:37:06
what we see them doing it appears as
though they're interfering the Dischord at

00:37:11
a minimum we see them apparently Bernie
Sanders campaign was briefed that they were

00:37:16
interfering on his behalf and that's
interesting because if it is the case that

00:37:20
they that they favor the president which
again there's been some debate about

00:37:24
whether they favor the president or they're
simply interfering in the election and

00:37:28
they think he's a more pliable or

00:37:30
a more beneficial then candidate in either
event supporting Bernie is another way

00:37:36
of just creating more chaos and look suppose
we had Sorry we're understanding he

00:37:40
was elected right but what happened
then is his ability to function will be

00:37:44
undermined by the fact that it appears the
Russians and supported him too and so

00:37:48
what they've done very cleverly as they
had in the prior election was be very

00:37:53
effective that undermining the ability of
either person gets elected to be to be

00:38:00
successful but also to create

00:38:03
a lack of confidence in our public in our
system and our rule blog confusion that's

00:38:07
the real problem what specifically are
they doing to sow this discord though well

00:38:13
we know what they did back in 2016 right
in place 16 we saw them take both sides of

00:38:18
the debate we saw them support the black
live matter movement we saw them. Support

00:38:22
the rise of the foul right we saw them say
that Donald Trump is not my president

00:38:26
after was elected and we saw them have
these ads that had the devil of Jesus

00:38:30
wrestling and saying that Jesus wins if
Hillary loses you know and as we saw the

00:38:34
Russians taking both sides of debate and
as we understand it they're putting out

00:38:38
the same kind of messaging today on Twitter
and the like now we don't have details

00:38:43
we haven't seen reporting from the
intelligence community about what specifically

00:38:47
they're doing but it's fair to assume
that what they did back in 2060 in the

00:38:51
present more sophisticated version of that
may be what's going on here in the 2020

00:38:55
a lot so if the president does not want
to acknowledge this or he says he hasn't

00:38:59
been briefed on any of this is it safe to
assume that we are doing nothing to put

00:39:03
a stop to this potential interference
Well look the fact that the president you

00:39:06
know has one about been briefed on I think
is less relevant I think we do know that

00:39:11
the u.s.

00:39:11
Intelligence community is aware because we're
hearing these reports of the briefings

00:39:15
that they at least gave to members of
Congress and they gave the center standers

00:39:17
campaign so they're aware of the
We also know that various u.s.

00:39:21
Government agencies including
Ashford agency have taken

00:39:23
a new posture when it comes to both the
lecture experience and Sarek to these more

00:39:27
generally taken the view that they need
to engage in what they call persistent

00:39:30
engagement or defend forward which means
operating in foreign space against these

00:39:34
adversaries of to counter them
before they get to us u.s.

00:39:37
Shores we also know that about
a year and a half ago Congress

00:39:40
a gave them authorities to take action in
cyberspace against people who threaten

00:39:45
the u.s. Elections and they named

00:39:46
a Russia in North Korea China and Iran is
potentially being involved in activities

00:39:50
so we know there's authority we know there's
potential action being taken but the

00:39:54
real question is what should be done on
the defensive side because it's one thing

00:39:58
for us to go pushing push back against
it out there on the off and one on the

00:40:01
defense side here at home and that's an
important part of the debate how do you

00:40:04
change to work together with one another
and work with the federal government in

00:40:07
a collective security arrangement
to the found themselves against

00:40:10
a nation state threat and is an effort to
the to do that well and you know we know

00:40:14
that Chris present d.h.

00:40:15
Who runs the cyber infrastructure
security agency a d

00:40:18
h s has been out there working with the
states actively We know that. Congress

00:40:22
recently passed some funding to help with
those efforts but more needs to be done

00:40:25
right we know that for example the
federal government collects all sorts of

00:40:28
intelligence information about the threat
if we could pass that information on one

00:40:32
the private sector companies that are
doing defense on behalf of private or

00:40:36
otherwise the companies or the states that
would be important and 2nd if they could

00:40:39
pass an intelligence directly to the states
themselves that would be good beyond

00:40:43
that but we have to think about how
states can help each other get better and

00:40:47
activate against this threat because with
one state standing alone it's like one

00:40:51
company standing alone can't rationally
expect them to stand up and defend

00:40:55
themselves against

00:40:55
a nation state attack or that is virtually
unlimited resources and virtually both

00:40:59
human and capital and these have to come
together work with one another with the

00:41:03
federal government work with the with private
industry to really closely defend one

00:41:08
another against this this this foreign
threat Morrissey's last question then she

00:41:12
didn't but I think in some ways they've
already achieved their mission because now

00:41:16
the American public may be wondering if
the elections are fair well that and that

00:41:20
is the ultimate goal you're exactly right
Laura which is that the the Russians have

00:41:24
already successfully undermined some level
of confidence the election but they're

00:41:29
going to keep going they're going to try
and do more and we've got to push back on

00:41:32
it against a nation you know we've got

00:41:34
a lot of partisan carping against one
another for the last 4 years that's still

00:41:38
going to continue because look there
is an open debate over how to run our

00:41:41
government and that's Ok today to have
what's not Ok is the question whether we're

00:41:46
under attack from foreign nations there
because we are and we've got to band

00:41:49
together as something public committee has
between Senators Berger and Warner come

00:41:54
together call for one of their take
collective action against the threats aren't

not she could not predict how severe the
spread of the virus will be in the u.s.

00:43:16
It's not so much a question of if this
will happen anymore but rather more

00:43:21
a question of exactly when this will
happen and how many people in this country

00:43:26
will have to fear parts of northern Italy
are on lockdown following the outbreak

00:43:31
and with at least 7 deaths in the region
the sudden outbreak in recent days from

00:43:36
South Korea to Iran to Italy have raised
fears that this virus which originated in

00:43:42
China will turn into a global pandemic

00:43:45
a global cases of the virus
of past 80000 Meanwhile

00:43:49
a new report warns that Southeast Asian and

00:43:54
badly hit even if there are no outbreaks
of the disease there Henry Ridgwell

00:44:00

Fountain tourists are taking no chances.

00:44:08
Many people. So I scared it
is. Further north in the

00:44:15
regions of long body and the epicenter of
the Italian outbreak several small towns

00:44:22
have been put on lockdown. But. This
is the confusion this discomfort and

00:44:28
sacrifices which for now is intended for
14 days I hope will prove to be effective

00:44:33
to contain the spread of the virus but we
cases reported in other Italian regions

00:44:39
and in Spain and Switzerland health authorities
are struggling to contain the virus

00:44:45
scientists say it's vital people do all
they can to stop it spread. Containment

00:44:52
procedure is there to effectively dampen
down the intensity of transmission and

00:44:57
stretch it out to prevent an overload in
health care settings. Iran is one of the

00:45:04
worst affected nations outside China with
hundreds of infections and more than

is also badly hit and the u.s.

infections have topped 77000 with more than

2500 deaths

00:45:37
a window of opportunity for stopping
this they say from becoming

00:45:41
a pandemic it's narrowing very fast.
When the entire community at the moment.

00:45:49
Will eventually develop into

00:45:50
a pandemic However I have to point out
that in the past we've had similar fears

00:45:56
what has happened is that
viruses just died down

a way the global economic cost could
hit 360 $1000000000.00 according to

Elizabeth looks back at the
man called The Spy song

a modern pariah Hosni Mubarak held power
for nearly 30 years and like many Arab

00:47:42
leaders of his time made his country

00:47:44
a personal fiefdom he placed friends and
family in positions of power and appeared

00:47:49
to be grooming his son to succeed
him. Until 18 stunning days in early

supposedly as president and he requested
the Supreme Council of the out of the

00:48:12
forces to run the affairs of the
country and. Within months he was in

00:48:19
a courtroom cage on trial for the killing
of protesters he was sentenced to life in

00:48:24
prison. It was an almost unthinkable
political and to the man who was the only

In 1901 Islam has killed President Anwar

Vice President Mubarak was by his side
the assassins propelled him to the

00:48:51
leadership of the country.
During the 1973 Arab Israeli war

00:48:58
Mubarak had risen to fame as head of Egypt's
air force that made him unlikely to

00:49:02
carry forward the peace deal with Israel
but with huge financial incentives from

00:49:06
the United States he remained committed
to the treaty. At the same time he mended

00:49:11
relations with Arab nations that had
shunned Egypt for its overture to keep the

peace at home he instituted emergency

the most important objective he sought is

economic front Mubarak promised reforms
but poverty and unemployment grew when

doing so he also marginalized moderate
Islamists only increasing their grassroots

00:49:54
support according to political analyst
Hisham Kassem Mubarak more than anything

00:49:59
lacked

00:49:59
a vision we're not talking only about
somebody who was very well shot Israel

00:50:04
a friend of our country for 30 years and
practically. He did nothing Ok he was like

00:50:08
. Mr nightshift. Out
there to hand over the

00:50:15
place to the morning shift this is his
legacy but he was ultra corrupt ultra

00:50:21
corrupt. Some say was the grooming of his
son Gamal that proved the final straw

00:50:27
Saeed Sadek of the American University in
Cairo if you look at the Special saying

00:50:32
this is

00:50:32
a poser. To his song with the
letter to you all for this song the

00:50:39
climb to win the street. Sadek says the
middle class heard by Mr Berndt policies

00:50:46
led to revolt against him but even during
his trial he had his supporters get me

00:50:52
into colonies surely. Mr
Mubarak song itself as

00:50:56
a paternal figure it's an image he
played upon in his final days in office.

00:51:06

protesters of his refusal to do more than he

something that you can't fight something

out when else says that he didn't start
out thinking about modern implications of

00:55:15
the film like the Harvey Weinstein case
but those themes found their way into the

00:55:21
final product the themes of the the
allegories of the movie come through at

00:55:27
a subconscious level sometimes and sometimes
and that's how it was for me when

00:55:32
writing this film I started to see things
pop up out of it that felt relevant and

00:55:36
current and I just you just sort of let it
happen you know any Elisabeth Moss says

00:55:40
she hopes the film motivates people to
take the problem of abuse and those trying
